Celebrate Halloween with a spooky tour of Salem that illuminates the supernatural side of the city. As you hear from your guide about witches and ghosts, experience a ‘magic lantern’ show that uses technology to project rare images along the walls of the walking route, bringing another element to the haunting tales.
The hook here is the magic lantern show. Alongside the guide's stories of witches and ghosts, projected rare images appear along the walls of the walking route, so this suits people who want a visual layer on top of the usual narration. If you prefer a stripped-down history talk with no theatrical element, that added production may feel like more than you need.
It is pitched as a Halloween-season, spooky take on Salem, though the town's tours tend to run beyond October. Salem's haunted reputation is famously tangled up with the 1692 witch trials, and stories of that past are the general backdrop here. Expect a walking route through the historic core, told with an eye toward atmosphere as much as fact.
